Post subject:  Symptoms for leaking Schrader valve for hydro suspension
Hey All just wondering as the title suggests if it is just the valve leaking or if there is this is the result of somthing else. There is a build up of fluid on one of the back right filler valve for the hydro suspension? Also is it just like fixing a bike valve? (pulling it out cleaning it and then back in, besides the fact that it will let air in which i dont want). Or is there a diffrent way to fix this problem with out letting air into the system.

Also on a diffrent matter i want to get my brakes looked at and i live in Mosman/ Sydney does anyone know a good cheap mini repair shop or maybe someone who just knows there stuff and will be willing to do the work?

ANy info much appreciated .
Cheers fellas

You can let the fluid out then unscrew the valve and slip another in, you won't get air in there unless you start undoing hoses etc.
If you are worried about it just pump it higher than normal, then let it down a bit, fast by pushing the valve stem.

Another symptom of a leaky valve is when pumping it up, the pump handle comes back up by itself. :shock:

They are just standard tyre valves... :wink:

Don't do it!
The valve is under approx 300lb of pressure and if you undo it you will end up with a big puddle of fluid under the car + flat suspension on one side. :oops:
